Stravinska: Remarks reason to write off Romney

Remarks reason to write off Romney

Romney's response to the attacks in Libya and Cairo show a lack of judgment and character that raise serious questions about his fitness to lead.

Romney's claim that President Obama "sympathized" with the attackers and "apologized" for American values is false and outrageous.

Even Republicans were shocked by Romney's disgraceful response, admitting it wasn't "presidential."

When faced with a national emergency, Romney rushed to judgment, acted rashly, lied to the American people and put politics ahead of national interest.

Here is the Republican candidate for president of the United States, explaining why he broke into a moment of rising international tension and denounced the White House as "disgraceful" for a mild statement made by the American Embassy in Cairo, not by the White House, about the importance of respecting other people's religions:

"They clearly - they clearly sent mixed messages to the world. And - and the statement came from the administration - and the embassy is the administration - the statement that came from the administration was a - was a statement which is akin to apology and I think was a - a - a severe miscalculation."

Do we really want to listen to such nonsensical blather from a president? Wasn't eight years of nonsense from "Dubya" Bush's mouth bad enough?

First Romney embarrassed the USA by "dissing" the Olympics in England, now he lies about Obama's response to the attacks in Libya and Cairo.

He could at least try to make a show of national unity. Instead he is hurting our country before he even has the authority to do so. Think how much harm he could do if he actually won that authority.
